DS is autistic, possibly ADHD and home ed, he would be in year 4 but would generally be lower academic ability than that. However he recently picked up an amazing book about the periodic table and he is now obsessed, constantly telling us facts etc. I would really love to encourage this and from the way he talks about it I think he could potentially manage things like atomic structure and balancing equations etc. But that was most definitely not my strong point (I envisaged getting a tutor for secondary science when they are older, not sure either DC would manage that type of environment yet though) and beyond a couple of books and card games, which don’t really go that deeply, I’m not really sure what to use - he wouldn’t really be able to access secondary age books, as his reading comprehension isn’t great.
Any thoughts please? He’s eager to learn, and has already named the element he’s planning to discover as an adult :o
